About this Event
🚀 Calling all young founders & small biz owners in Renfrewshire!
We’re excited to kick off the very first of our Meet the Funder Day series at Launch It Paisley Start-Up Street created to equip local entrepreneurs with the knowledge, insight and practical tips needed to secure funding from a range of sources and organisations.
First up, we’re welcoming Kevin Walls, COO of Scottish EDGE, for an exclusive meet the funder session.
This interactive information session will cover:
- What Scottish EDGE does
- The grants available to winners of the pitching competition
- The key do’s and don’ts when applying
- Insider tips to strengthen your application
You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the funder during a dedicated Q&A at the end of the session.
This isn’t just any event; it’s all about empowering the next generation of founders. We know that navigating funding can feel overwhelming, confusing, and out of reach. That’s why we’re creating opportunities like this: to put you face-to-face with funders, show you exactly what they’re looking for, and give you the confidence to take that next step!
With EDGE27 applications opening soon, this event is perfectly timed to help you prepare and put forward your strongest submission.
You’ll also have the chance to connect with other young people on the same entrepreneurial journey; sharing ideas, building networks and learning together.
